L Is for Love
Atinuke
A Nigerian family travels from its rural home to Lagos to sell lemons at market. The story is built from statements beginning “L is for,” following the mother, father, and three children through an early departure, walking and riding, working, playing, and observing the city. The family says goodbye to grandparents and an infant sibling before setting out, then returns home at night to hugs. Lemons, legs, lifts, lamps, laughter, and Lagos are among the day’s recurring L words.
